Thanks to Rick for posting to the BBC mailing list how to get some invite keys to coComment. Of course, by replying I also volunteered to review it (doh!).
So … I’ve signed up (very easy, only a little bit of info required). I put the bookmarklet on my toolbar. I added my person comment RSS feed to my aggregator. And then I left my first comment. It happened that Scoble had a post on another comment tracking service I just couldn’t resist!
First impressions … easy sign up. Easy to use. The comment I registered was immediately reflected in my account.
I’ll also throw my two cents in on this whole topic. While blogs are all about the conversation, I know personally I haven’t left as many comments on blog posts for the very simple reason that it’s been way, way too hard to keep track of them. Not all platforms offer comment feeds, and who really wants to have to keep adding and culling those feeds. E-mails … well good sometimes, bad other times.
I’m pretty hopeful about this new service and am certainly going to kick up my commenting a notch to give it a good, solid try

The greasemonkey script seems to work well and means you don’t have to remember to hit the boomarklet.
In fact it’s working for me right now!

How does one get an Invitation Code?

I think the best way right now is to know someone who has extras (sorry I don’t) or put your name in on their website.
